Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streak after streak of white light drifted into the same stone statue one after another.
Right after that, the stone crumbled away.
A golden fox with nine tails growing behind it appeared in Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin's line of sight.
[Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox] (Level 230 magic type, God-Rank BOSS)!
The very first God-Rank BOSS beyond ordinary boss-class appeared.
There was no panic or fear caused by the change in BOSS quality.
The moment the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox appeared, before it even had time to act cool, it was stunned by a heavy slash from the Shadow Dancer who suddenly charged in.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The daggers in Chen Zijin's hands swung at extreme speed, slashing nonstop onto the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox's body.
-28.61 billion!
-27.29 billion!
-26.66 billion!
-25.78 billion!
Compared to bosses of the same level, the strength of a God-Rank BOSS was obviously higher.
This combo of Chen Zijin's, which was enough to chop away one-third of an ordinary boss's health bar, only shaved off a tiny bit of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox's HP.
Seeing Chen Zijin's damage begin to decline, Zhang Yue realized: her emotions were gradually stabilizing, her wrath value was starting to drop.
So, Zhang Yue immediately linked with strategist Liyue, and began outputting…
Before his Transcendent set had finished upgrading, Zhang Yue's role had always been more of support.
Compared to Chen Zijin, his damage was utterly insignificant.
So if he was going to slack, then he'd slack openly.
But under Zhang Yue's output, Chen Zijin's wrath value started rising again.
With both the Wrath Source Stone and the Wrath God Set giving her blessings, her output spiked straight upward.
-27.52 billion!
-28.36 billion!
-29.81 billion!
Even though it was a God-Rank BOSS, it still couldn't escape being executed by a Mythic-Rank Shadow Dancer.
The Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox didn't even last ten seconds after spawning before Chen Zijin cut it down.
And along the way, she even slaughtered two ordinary-class bosses.
All around them, as the white light kept converging into the dungeon, stone statues of bosses kept getting activated one by one, more and more bosses began swarming Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin.
At this moment, Chen Zijin stayed calm, activated her Shadow Dancer powers, released all the shadows she had accumulated in the previous fights, and let them automatically hunt down enemies in range.
At this level of combat, Zhang Yue's tier-two undead legion clearly couldn't play any role, so he didn't bother summoning it.
Thankfully, Chen Zijin pushed the power of the Mythic-Rank treasure wrath Source Stone and the infinitely growing wrath God Set to the absolute limit.
Even on her own, she was enough to fight all the enemies around them.
And this time, Zhang Yue finally got to fully experience the feeling of being carried hard.
As one boss after another fell, Zhang Yue's gained experience shot up like crazy, his exp bar rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, every single one they were hunting right now was a boss.
The value of one boss far surpassed even thousands of ordinary mobs.
Killing ten bosses was basically the same as killing tens of thousands of mobs.
As the battle pushed forward.
The later the bosses got, the higher their rank when activated by the stone statues. Now they were already steadily God-Rank, Emperor-Rank, even beginning to see Immortal-Rank bosses.
This clearly proved: the difficulty of this dungeon had already gone severely over the standard.
No wonder that among pro teams from all over the world, the highest progress was only barely up to the seventh-level challenge.
It was obvious: even if they had the ability to reach the tenth-level challenge, coming here would just mean death.
How could level-220ish professionals possibly stand up to these boss groups?
Forget Immortal-Rank bosses.
Even a single Emperor-Rank boss wasn't something ordinary pros could handle.
As the seconds ticked by.
The total number of bosses slain by Chen Zijin had already gone past triple digits.
At this time, no more new bosses appeared around them.
Suddenly, everything around fell quiet.
And yet, the quieter it got, the stronger the sense of unease grew.
"Judging by this, the final boss should be coming out any moment now."
As Zhang Yue's words fell.
Chen Zijin gripped her twin blades, expanded the range of her shadows, surrounding her whole body.
Glancing at Zhang Yue beside her, she said, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
This was a truth Zhang Yue had no choice but to accept.
Right now, he really did need Chen Zijin's protection.
Without Chen Zijin, he absolutely couldn't handle this tenth-level challenge.
Just as the two of them waited expectantly for the final boss to appear.
Rumble! Rumble!
All of a sudden, the ground shook violently from every direction.
This tremor wasn't just inside the dungeon.
Even people outside the dungeon could feel it.
At this time, all the Hell Hunters outside had already been wiped out, and no new ones were appearing from the dungeon either.
The fighting had gradually ceased, the battlefield had returned to calm.
Until the tremors began, everyone once again sank into inexplicable unease.
"What's happening now, what's about to go down?"
"Such a strong tremor!"
At the same time, up in the sky, the weather suddenly changed, thunder roared.
Rumble! Rumble!
Bolts of golden lightning ripped through the black clouds, flashing in the sky.
World-shattering gales linked heaven and earth.
Endless storms devoured the land.
The sight was terrifying.
"This… this is… the sign of a King-Rank BOSS being born?"
"Is the dungeon's final boss about to appear?"
"So that means, the final boss of the Tomb of the Empire dungeon is a King-Rank BOSS?"
"Holy crap! King-Rank BOSS, that's insane!"
"Zero and Cappuccino, can those two really handle a King-Rank BOSS?"
———
Inside the Tomb of the Empire dungeon—
Along with the ever-stronger tremors.
Huge cracks split open under Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin's feet.
Immediately after, countless streams of black light shot out of those cracks, fell to the ground, and transformed into demons with bodies glowing black all over.
"Again?"
"A beast tide?"
Chen Zijin gripped her dual blades tightly, eyes blazing as she stared at all sides.
These demons were still level 230.
Just like the Hell Hunters that had burst out of the dungeon earlier, they were elite mobs.
Their numbers were massive, already forming a level-one beast tide in scale.
For now, these demons made no move, as if waiting for the main body to act.
The streams of light from the cracks kept coming, transforming into new demons without end.
The number of demons around them kept growing.
Their scale rose visibly, from a level-one beast tide, gradually climbing to level-two, then level-three beast tide.
Just as Chen Zijin was about to start her final slaughter against these monsters—
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light appeared in the sky.
Looking up.
As the golden light faded.
They saw a gigantic black skull appear high in the sky.
The overwhelming aura it released forced every living being on the ground into reverence.
Compared to it, Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin were like two ants in the eyes of a demon god…
